Guitar hero Kiko Loureiro, who is celebrating his 20th anniversary as a solo artist this year, will provide an analysis of his latest lectures that he filmed and sent to Young Guitar. Looking back, it was Kiko who appeared in the magazine's first supplementary DVD video project in the January 2002 issue. Since then, he has appeared in various forms such as ANGRA, Megadeth, and solo activities, generously showing off many of the latest and greatest phrases at that time, and continuing to ignite the guitar spirit of his fans. This is the 14th time it has appeared (excluding special editions and supplements), including the supplementary DVD, DLC video, and YouTube, and it is a must-see. Each phrase corresponds to the musical score published in the Young Guitar December 2025 issue article on how to play, and he will explain six licks with infinite possibilities, including a presentation of ideas used in new and old solo albums, a glimpse of the practice songs developed at the online school “Kiko Loureiro Guitar Academy” that he runs, and how to apply and develop the phrases. We hope this will be a new opportunity for you to experience the source of his overwhelming techniques and flexible musical ideas! 0:00 Opening 0:19 Ex-1 Descending phrase with full picking 2:17 Ex-2 Variation of Ex-1 3:39 Ex-3 Exercise to play the E note of different octaves in various places 5:17 Ex-4 Open triad phrase played with hybrid picking 7:24 Ex-5 Jazzy phrase descending with A Dorian 8:35 Ex-6 Arpeggio that combines C chord and Bm chord Special interview with Marty Friedman & Kiko Loureiro! 🎥 https://youtu.be/Do55CuZxRo8 Kiko Loureiro Guitar Academy official information Kiko Loureiro Guitar Academy https://kikoloureiro.com/guitaracademy_/ Kiko Loureiro YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@kikoloureiroofficial Young Guitar December 2025 issue (musical score issue) Amazon: https://amzn.to/3X46qRD Subscription: https://www.fujisan.co.jp/product/2677/ Young Guitar official website: https://youngguitar.jp/ Web linked page: https://youngguitar.jp/web/202512-kiko-loureiro Young Guitar official website https://youngguitar.jp/ Follow Young Guitar on SNS!
